    Dude I'm not attracted to "whiteness" as a culture. I'm attracted to lighter hair and lighter eyes physically, I like educated middle to upper middle class girls who have an affinity for dorky things. Where I live that's usually embodied by white women. I don't have a fetish. And that American born Tawainese stuff is lame. How about we celebrate his hard work which has nothing to do with his background. The most amazing thing about this kid's story is he was third man on the bench and fucking took the game by storm. I choose to focus on his talent not his race. I thought that was the major theme of this website. Race doesn't matter. I grew up learning karate from a sixth degree shihan who was black never for a second did I think it was amazing. I thought he was amazing for his skill. Learned chess from black masters as a kid never focused on the race then either. I guess I was conditioned early on that race ain't got shit to do with talent and drive.

    If race was totally insignificant in your calculation for what you find attractive in certain women, you wouldn't be a member here.
    That's the truth. It's something uniquely special about the coupling of WW/BM that drives this site.

    No one said it was a fetish, or something abnormal that trumped all other considerations. Otherwise it would be just a porn site with a bunch of naughty pics.:p(Nothing wrong with that BTW!!lol), and there wouldn't be the amount of debates that have more to do with gender than actual race.

    It's a preference. Maybe not exclusive, but still.

    Let's be honest, if you kept all the variables the same and only changed Lin's race, this wouldn't be a national story. It's less of a surprise that a Black b-ball player even from Harvard makes it to the NBA. It conforms with our expectations.
    Someone like Jeremy Lin flips what we expect an NBA player to look like, which conversely breaks down the unspoken stereotype that elite b-ball player= Black athlete.

    Until we all wake up one day in a candy cane color blind world, race will always be a factor in something. Maybe not exclusively but it's still there.

    All I'm arguing is that recognizing or factoring in someone's race isn't by definition always something negative.

    I haven't seen anything but highlights of his high-scoring games. Sounds like he was 'on fire' and 'in the zone'.

    LOL, I'm seeing them all here live and direct in New York and all I can say is

    Asian/African/White whatever dude is ballin and the Knicks are much, much better for it.

    Just what they needed all along, thank goodness.

    Carmelo returns tonight and we will see, since he last played the Knicks have seen the emergence of Lin and the signing of J.R. Smith

    They now have

    Lin
    Fields
    Anthony
    Stoudamire
    Chandler

    Iman Shumpert
    J.R. Smith/Bill Walker
    Steve Novak
    Jarod Jefferies

    Novak/Smith and Walker can all nail the 3 pt shot at a high rate, including Novak among the league leaders at 45%

    When Carmelo takes the floor Knicks could be lethal as an offensive unit up and down the floor.

    I have a bad feeling that Carmelo is going to return and ruin the flow of the current offense. Thus, the consecutive losses will follow, just as they did prior to his temporary departure from the court.


    I really hope I'm wrong. We'll see...
